Okay?
Well..What would you think if you heard a Spanish version of Smokey Robinson's, "Being With You", or "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" with added Latin beats? Might make one think should I Doo Wop or Tango?

It's certainly a different kind of remix compilation but never the less I'm diggn' it for now, and tho I haven't yet, I will definitely purchase Volume One when I get around to it.

Bad Latin-Flavored Follow-up to a Good First Disc
I bought the first Motown Remixed a year or two ago and really enjoyed many of the tracks. There are MANY gems on the first disc. But this disc should be subtitled "The Latin Remixes". Latin rhythms are great-- but EVERY mix here is latin-flavored, and it gets boring fast. I made the mistake of not reviewing the album first online. I was eager to purchase because I really liked the first album, and i figured, 'how bad can it be.' So, listen to a few tracks first before you buy.

RESPECT that's the main thing !
First, I'm NOT into remixes BUT when it's done with RESPECT for the original... In this case, IT IS. You exactly recognise the song and that's already a very positive thing. You really hear another way, another style without losing the greatness of the song itself. You can agree or disagree. Never touch a good thing ofcourse but these tracks prove that they could be hits from the future, instead of the past.
GREAT WORK.

If a 3rd remix CD is released, I WILL preview it before purchasing
Even though I just got the CD and only listen to it once, I think I'll burn my two favorites and shelf it. I liked CD 1, and just picked up 2 assuming it would be better but didn't. The only cut that I really liked and ended up cleaning to was the Marvin Gaye remix. It's housey enough to build up a sweat and get a few chores done. I would love if they did another CD making it a truly club/house with no breaks. Can you image 80+ minutes mixed together with echoes, bass and beats? Man.... Oh yeah, if anyone from Motown is reading this, please don't repeat songs on the next CD that were featured on the two previous. Choose another song by the group/artist or release a EP with 5+ versions if you really feel the need. I'm hopeful, and may even grow to like # 2 more -but still won't buy the next remix on impulse.

The perfect bad idea
When a record company doesn't know what to do, there is always somebody with the remix album idea. So Motown UK issued volume 1. This remix album isn't different from the others : at first we are curious about the changes mades with the song but that doesn't last because a remixer is a guy that replaces true musical ideas with repetitive gimmicks. Anyway Tom Moulton did a great job for «Stoned love» and «My world is empty without you» is actually good. Now comes volume 2 (a short one with short mixes : 48 min. long for 11 songs). And it's trully dreadful. Who gave the green light for such trash ? All songs have a Latin American sound that doesn't mix well with Motown. At least a sticker on the cd would have warned the buyer ! The worst is «The boss» by Ross remixed «a-la-Colombian-buseta» : they took one of the few Motown disco songs that has stood the test of time and they destroyed it ; they took off all disco elements from it, leaving the vocals naked and they put an irritating vallenato-like background that doesn't match (both keys are differents ; does the remixer Manuel Ruiz have ear ?). Luckily, this volume is available in just one form (the first volume was available in two differents cds with different tracklistings and with I.tunes bonuses). Well, I hope that this cd is the end of the series.
